MYTH 1: Every leader has a vision
We are living in a time of leadership blindness. All leaders claim to have a vision. The vast majority are, at best, only pretending. In truth, about 0.1 per cent of business, social, or political leaders actually have a vision.
Modern leaders often cannot explain what vision is and how it can be made a reality. They substitute money and performance indicators for vision, forgetting that without vision, no amount of time, money, or resources can help.
Life is not a place we live but a path we take. Vision defines a path into the future down which a true leader must lead others.
Vision is aspiration for the future that we strive to make a reality today. In fact, not many modern leaders are good at defining the future and making it a reality.
Vision creates the fertile ground on which we build the future. How we create a productive and prosperous space for all stakeholders, employees, customers, partners, and future users of this ecosystem, depends on visionary leaders. Having a vision is like looking at the present from the future’s standpoint. There is only a slim chance for success, breakthrough initiatives, incredible achievements, and an abundance of opportunities in a flat two-dimensional reality. A solid vision opens up a multidimensional space in which anything is possible.
